Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Tori + Alex's Engagement Shoot

Tori + Alex say their iDos this weekend, so we are sharing their sweet engagement photos taken by the ever so talented Joey Kennedy! The bride + groom will start their new life together in the Windy City, but their nuptials will be here in the 'Burgh at Omni William Penn Hotel. Tori is a true fashionista, so it would only be fitting that she + her soon-to-be hubby have a stylish happily ever after! They wanted to add a unique, modern twist to the traditional and ornate Omni — a color palette of white, gold + stone along with mirror details will be infused throughout the design. {SHE} can’t wait to see all of the details come to life! Happy (almost) Wedding Day to the future Mr. + Mrs. Toews!
